It was like Jared knew this might be the last time he's ever able tell Peter how he really feels.

He doesn't want this. Peter doesn't want this. Oh god. SO wrong and amazing and wrong.
(and you know if Ellen knew about it she wouldn't want this either, like no way would she be in any way responsible for them even thinking of not being together.)

So awful. My heart hurts.
Like, even if they for whatever reason actually went through with not being together always, like if Ellen even allowed that to happen, because maybe she thought about them being "adults" or whatever, and like it'd make him straighten up and fly right or something...only to realize that half of Jared is Peter? That he's like not even the same person? He's changed into a weird, unrecognizable, "adult" because it's what he's "supposed to" be like, but isn't who he really is? And Jared would think that this shell is what Ellen wants and what Infeld Daniels needs and he'd just be pushing all of who he is out...

And Peter would be doing the same thing, but elsewhere. But he'd still have to keep up the persona of Bash of Franklin and Bash, because that's who they hired, so it's just this pale imitation of what they naturally had together.

*dies*

And he would have signed a contract so they couldn't just get rid of him, but they'd sort of push him off onto lesser cases, or start trying to pair him up with people. It'd be awful.

They can't take back promises like that. It's unfair and not right. I don't even think it's legal.
